Hah yes it does look like an 'H'. If you prefer a much smaller but equally (or arguably more) challenging puzzle, try this one: https://echochess.com/game.html?game_mode=DAILY&level_type=E...

Yes, on hint, plz

I keep them both useful until I have to capture the queen - so one turns into the queen, and if I send a bishop to take the knight its stuck there because if I take the knight then with the queen - the queen becomes the knight... same with the pawn.

Yeah this puzzle is HARD. Sorry about that lol.

Here's a hint: can you try to keep both your white pieces useful after going down from the top section?

see if there's 2 bishops on a white square for example.
